More news!
Apperantly Stephan Winkelmann wasn't too satisfied with the Countach cash-grab. He wants to focus on futuristic one-offs. He also confirms Huracan Sterrato officially.
Now the interesting news,
Apperantly the 4th model, the 2+2 EV will be a high riding vehicle. Not SUV like, but think Espada/Urraco height.(rumored for 2028)
AND the Urus replacement will be fully EV.

Nothing on the new guy, but Reggiani was perfect for that position. Litteraly one of the greats at Lamborghini.

Interesting read:

Front:
Debuts next August at Quail?

Since some say it has a Sian inspired front with Centenario inspired rear. To me it sounds like a Third Millennium concept in Sian type body.
Although I would prefer something more elegant and beautiful, like the SC20 with a few changes and a roof. More evolutionary revolutionary design than a complete brutal makeover in the front.
We can certainly say that this engine cover belongs to the replacement:
And possibly this active spoiler:

I was told 800 from the V12, 200 hybrid. The look is described as a Sian with design elements from the Centenario. There's also talk it might be a limited run, maybe the V12 is a limited run?
Supposedly dealers saw the actual car in person so sounds like it's close to production ready.
Aventador was limited run too, "4000 units" they said in 2011. Was it last year that Lamborghini produced the 10 000th Aventador?
What Lambo dealers likely saw were renderings, clay models and sketches from Mitja.
Lamborghini's hybrid era will last at least until the 2030s, since it is rumored that the new V12 will comply with the Euro 7 regulations. And it's not close to production, not until we see prototypes rolling around with production bodystyle.
SW layed out the timeline for the new products here: https://www.motor1.com/news/508012/lamborghini-electrification-plan-revealed/2023: Aventador replacement / Urus hybrid
2024: Huracan replacement
2025-2029: 4th model, EV Grand TourerIts fun to speculate on the Aventador replacement's name.
There are still two trademarks from 2012-2013 that are still unused by Lamborghini (but still renewed and trademarked). Those are "Encaste" and "Deimos". -

https://www.carscoops.com/2021/11/lamborghini-spotted-testing-upcoming-hybrid-v12-engine-in-an-aventador-mule/ Yes, the rear and front bumper is slightly changed on this test mule. But I do not think its a new version. I think what's under the body is what they are testing here... Happy weekend everyone btw!
Nice to see the first test mule for the replacement.
Remember that Aventador started out as this:
and within a year went to this:
And then this:

Are they revealing it at Quail? Did we establish that?
Yes, and they should have stuck with it being a concept, like the Miura from years ago... But no resurrecting Countach name for a limited production car that only shares design elements with the original.
Key specs that I know of:
Sian based, hybrid. LPI designated. (yes, they are now doing cars from already limited edition cars.)
800 hp combined
AWD
Price is north of $3 million.
Ps:
There is also a cool Countach cruise organized from August 10th to 14th or 15th by Lamborghini in California. Apperantly the cruise is limited to 30 cars, but there will be some other Lamborghini models following those 30 Countaches.

More or less downsized V12 is confirmed.
-
They did it right with the Gallardo at least, Squadra Corse was a parts bin special, yet it was the most extreme Gallardo you could buy.
This parts bin special is an afterthought, nothing about it is special. Won't be surprised if it ends up like the McLaren Elva, where production numbers have to be cut. I see them hardly selling those 600 cars to anyone.

Bugatti will either succeed or go bankrupt, like it has before. We will see once the Chiron production is finished.

Special Edition to celebrate being timeless?
Yes, the "SJ".

And we now know the date.

No update on the GT3?
It will be interesting if the next Huracan version will take inspiration from this...
-
What happened to the cool engine cover from the green prototype? Or was that the base for the Countach Homage?
-
Check the STO thread. It's a full lap record attempt incoming, but it will only be published if they beat the Black Series, by a good margin.
-
This will be interesting.

Sedan or new small Suv
More or less a Super GT similar to 812SF.

Here is CNBC article. So we get 2 more V12 this year--assume variants of the Aventador (does that mean hybrid for replacement)?
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/18/lamborghini-announces-plan-for-a-fully-electric-car-by-2030.html
Countach Homage and Aventador Evo. Release/production for both of them is 2021 and 2022 respectively.
Hybridized Aventador replacement is coming in 2023.
Aventador will be joining Countach as one of the longest produced Lamborghini V12 flagship.

In other words nothing new and pretty much a pointless presentation.
The only funny part about this was when he was talking about SQ department, they showed a Huracan GT3 passing a 488 GT3 when talking about racing successes, suggesting Lamborghini was surpassing Ferrari in that area these days.
Otherwise the PR speech was full of lies, considering that right now, McLaren and Ferrari are making supercars that are benchmark in terms of performance. (765LT / SF90 Stradale)
This presentation also confirms that the Aventador replacement is only coming in 2023...
